Someone on Substack posted that they've been feeling out of touch with contemporary fiction and asked about fave recent novels?

These 6 that I've all read pretty recently jumped to mind.
I’ve been reading more story collections than novels the last couple years, but novels that jumped to mind: Gloria Patri, Austin Ross Headshot, Rita Bullwinkel Now Is Not the Time to Panic, Kevin Wilson Saint Sebastian's Abyss, Mark Haber Hot Springs Drive, Lindsay Hunter Howling Women, Shelby Hinte

Book cover for God of River Mud by Vic Sizemore (West Virginia UP), with a person's legs and hands covered in mud, sitting on mud. To escape a life of poverty and abuse, Berna Cannaday marries Zechariah Minor, a fundamentalist Baptist preacher, and commits herself to his faith, trying to make it her own. After Zechariah takes a church beside the Elk River in rural Clay, West Virginia, Berna falls in love with someone from their congregation—Jordan, a woman who has known since childhood that he was meant to be a man. https://wvupressonline.com/god-of-river-mud Book cover for Disobedience by Daniel Sarah Karasik (BookHug), with blowsy white flowers against a dark background, the title text broken up to say DIS OBE DIEN CE: a novel. Shael risks abject violence if their identity and love affair with Coe, an insurrectionary activist, are discovered. https://bookhugpress.ca/shop/author/daniel-sarah-karasik/disobedience-by-daniel-sarah-karasik/

Trade analyst Stuart Trew from @policyalternatives.ca says Carney will need to be pushed to spend on the right things—not east-to-west pipelines but green electricity grids, not handouts to billionaires but support for workers.

"Do we really suppose that Canadian workers have more in common with Canadian plutocrats such as Galen Weston than with an American or Mexican worker?

Whatever the outcome of this moment’s trade dispute, wealth in North America will still be controlled by capital,"
